The sequel is now up on Newgrounds - you can check it out by selecting the 'also by this author' in the bottom left.

A brand new version of the card game The Necronomicon, with a new game mode, and full of new art drawn up by various contributors. There are now 30 ranks to beat, and the game ends when either you get to 30 before your opponent, or they beat you up to rank 30.

Bug fixes, game changes and tweaks, and a whole new game mode called Challenge Mode. Defeat the opponent in a series of scenarios where the odds are stacked against you.

Also includes some rule changes and creatures now have additional abilities.

** NEW - . - MASSIVE update to how the cards are dealt out. Basically what happens now in the fix is that you both have a deck of whatever amount of cards are unlocked, and each card will be seen once by each of you. There will be no duplicate cards appearing until your deck has been exhausted and shuffled, and so the only dups you will see are the cards you held from the previous shuffle. Makes everything much more balanced.

Brilliant

Very enjoyable, you can really build up stratergies and combos. The art is great and the whole feel draws you in alot, could use afew more cards and possibly some way to combine monsters, it's a shame when you have to discard the same monster because it's already in play. Also the sanity drops very quickly due to not enough cards for refilling sanity / non-magic cards, often I'd have to do most of a battle with some insanity effect on me.

Glad you like the game. If sanity is a worry, you can also discard a card and gain the sanity cost onto your sanity instead. Of course, you forfeit your turn. But some times its needed. Especially in the challenges where you are not allowed to go insane, or you lose.

superb

A great card game, really enjoyable to play. I kept on telling myself "just one more game" for hours.

The replacement artwork is not bad either - the dimensional shambler looks boss

I hope the creator continues to expand the game with more attacks, defenses and places - how about the plains of leng or the dreamlands, and Nyarlethotep, tsathoggua and the great race of yith could also be added...
